CALL FOR ILLINOIS ARTISTS:
The Illinois Artisans Program is approaching its
30th year! We would like to invite you to become part of this unique and growing
program. Created in 1985 by Governor James R. Thompson, the program draws
national and statewide attention to the exceptional fine craft and art in the
state. The program provides venues for the display and sale of one-of-a-kind
work all made in Illinois. Juried artisans participate in solo and group
exhibitions, arts sprees (indoor art fairs), demonstrations and teach classes.
Three not-for-profit venues operate under statutory authority of the Illinois
State Museum Society to display and sell Illinois artisans work in over 26 media
categories including: ceramics, glass, jewelry, painting, fiber arts, furniture
as well as fine art.
To become a juried artist in the Artisans Program,
an artist must live and work within Illinois. A body of work must then be
reviewed and accepted by a jury-panel. Artists apply in a specific media
category and the cost is $30 per application. Please consider becoming a juried
Illinois Artisan today, the deadline is March 28th. The full application can be
found at http://www.museum.state.il.us/programs/illinois-artisans/
